Chicharones and menudo - where to find?

I'm on my way to San Diego for a few days from the east coast. Is there any where for the "real" things? I know that can mean lots of different things, but I don't mind the problem of samplingmany varieties. It's been over 10 years since I left El Paso and now's my chance. Thanks for the suggestions.

Not sure if you mean fried or stewed chicharron. Super Cocina in City Heights makes really delicious stewed chicharron in salsa verde. They also make menudo that I've heard is good, but I've never tried it.

I take it you are talking about the fried ones? Although I like the stewed, there's not anything better for my money than still warm, fried chicharones, a smokey chipotle tomatillo salsa, and a ice cold negra modelo.If that's it, I'm headed to Northgate.Thanks
